DESCRIPTION:The second call for proposals for the Science and Technology 
 for Humanitarian Action Challenge\, in collaboration with ETH-Zürich and
  the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). As a reminder the fu

 an doubled if a partnership with ETH-Zürich is involved.\nTo facilitate y
 our participation in this call\, we invite you to an information session.\

 aunched the Science and Technology for Humanitarian Action Challenges pr

 tions enhancing the impact of humanitarian action. The deadline of the ne
